Successful Weight Loss

The Hypothyroid Weight Loss Struggle

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


If your hypothyroid weight loss program is not working, it is time to try the recommendation made below and see tremendous results.

Most people with hypothyroidism report additional pounds as one of the symptoms. This is because you cannot shed any pounds if your thyroid is not operating maximally.

Well, aside from the obvious recommendations of diet and exercise, which will be covered in another article, you need to get the right treatment. This is not an easy task.

However, before you can get the right thyroid treatment you need the right physician. So, how do you find THE best doctor? By asking the right questions. Here are some good questions to start with.

How often will you test my thyroid if I need medication?

New treatment should commence after monthly tests are satisfactory.

What are my treatment options if I have hypothyroidism?

You should have more than one option when it comes to drugs.

What are the different manifestations of thyroid complications?

There are two types of hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's and primary hypothyroidism.

Will my thyroid require antibody testing?

This will determine if you have Hashimoto's.

How do you treat the immune system?

Patients with Hashimoto's require immune support.

What is the effect of eating habits on improvement or deterioration of the condition?

Diet plays a very big part in hypothyroid weight loss.

Having identified a professional physician to work with, the experiments on treatment begin. The discrepancies in response to medicine are brought about by the fact that individual biochemistry differs. The reaction after similar dosages and procedures differs.

Years ago before testing was available, doctors determined if treatment was working by what their patients told them. Today, doctors are armed with sophisticated testing, yet the best evidence to determine if your treatment is working is your testimonial. This is why it's so important that you are aware of how you're feeling.

Hypothyroid weight loss changes will occur subtly along with your other symptoms, assuming you have the right treatment. So, you need to pay close attention to how you feel day in and day out. Do not get obsessed with watching the scale!

The symptoms before commencement of treatment should be noted. The details of such a note include how severe the symptoms are. If treatment is effective, the severity will reduce. This is an indication that the body is responding well. Any other sign indicates a worsening situation.

It is unrealistic to expect drastic changes in the body within the first week of treatment. They begin to be felt after several weeks. The doctor must be notified if no changes are witnessed. A doctor who listens to your testimony is the best. If he does not, it is advisable to change.

Hypothyroidism and weight are closely tied and so focusing on changing figures on the scale is not necessary. Failure to see change despite exercise and diet will only lead to frustration.

Your hypothyroid weight loss struggles and other symptoms will improve with the right treatment. However, your other symptoms will improve first, so focus on them to determine if you have the right treatment.
